Guest Luigi Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I did a search and found out 'bout power traxx. Called 'em. No luck. Called Reider. None avail. 'till mid summer (?). Seemed uncertain 'bout THAT date. So...what do I use in a R200? Break the bank and put a Quaife? Are there any deals to be had on these (quaifes)? Options? thanks folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73BOTIZ Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 I bought one from MSA about 3 years ago for $750.00. I am sure they can still get them. Mike D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Ross C can get them for you and I belive he had them on sale for $900,but that was about 6 months ago. http://www.modern-motorsports.com/ Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 "...what do I use in a R200? Break the bank and put a Quaife? Are there any deals to be had on these (quaifes)? Options? thanks folks" The physical Quaife unit alone retails for $1200 typically and a full rebuild(all bearings/seals/shims etc)/setup runs $500+ for an R200. I offer a package including A to Z whereby the quaife unit and the complete rebuild/setup cost is $1550 if you supply a good core R200 (ie. decent gears) Setup is done by a very competent shop. Some info written up on my site if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deMideon Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 As I am very budget limited I am going to get a Phantom Grip LSD. Can't beat the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Demidion, To my knowledge, Phantom Grip does not offer a conversion kit for the Z car differential. It would be nice if they did because the Quaife is a very expensive LSD. Hence the reason a lot of members are trying and using the Q45 diff. Let me know if I'm wrong on the Phantom Grip.

deMideon Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I thought the listing for Nissan 200zx (R200) was the one people used. I haven't tried it yet myself, I am know a few people on the list said they were going to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 i just ordered the phantom grip lsd and should have it in the car by the end of april [assuming we have no more snow]. i'll then post my feedback on it [for the r200]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 David, From what shop did you get the LSD and did they assure you it would work in the Z R200? Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I emailed Phantom Grip late last week. Below is their response back to me - looks like an alternative carrier to the Quaife is possible. DAN, YES PART # 908 WILL WORK FINE FOR YOU. THANK YOU PHANTOM GRIP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denny411 Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 How much does the phantom grip run$$? I just might be ready to pick one up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 danno, i called john at phantom and he has a unit for the 240sx r200. i then called nismo and now understand that the difference in the r200's b/w the z's and the 240sx is the pinion length. the rest of the guts are the same. i then sent phantom my guts from my r200, he measured and said it was the same. my phantom is on the way and should b in the car by end of april [once the snow is completely gone, i'll road test it].

Dp351zcar Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 The difference between the Z's R200 and the 240SX R200 is the lengh of the pinion shaft and the side stubs (axle shafts?). The side stubs are a different lengh to engage the viscous coupler in the 240SX R200. The Z's R200 side stubs will go in both of the R200s but depending on the where the (Zs 89 and earlier) internal parts are I would be careful. The ring gear bolts on a 240SX and Z32 ring gears are 12mm 86 and older Z's are 10mm. The newer 240 and z32 side stubs can work I think but the CV cups will need to be cut off and a flat plate welded on for the Ujoint half shaft to bolt on. If anybody has questions I can email some pictures of how far I have gotten so far. I am putting a Z32 R200 LSD carrier in a older 83 housing and trying this out.

1 tuff z Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 just received my phantom grip lsd. it installed w/o too much difficulty and looks as though it will do the trick. still waiting for my radiator to be finished and i'll then have the z back on the road again-can't wait. once i have put some power to the phantom, i'll post again my thoughts. ps-i ordered the same application they list for the 240sx r-200. no problem with the fit.

Guest Anonymous Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Some info on the Phantom Grip... Apparently it's an insert that presses against the spider gears. You use your diff. http://www.mx3gsr.freeservers.com/pg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
